The thesis explores capital budgeting decision-making in the telecom sector through real option analysis (ROA), arguing that traditional discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis underestimates the value of management flexibility in investments. It identifies limitations of DCF, such as reliance on historical beta for future performance and constant discount rates for non-constant cash flows, and emphasizes the need for an adapted model that incorporates these real options. The research includes both qualitative literature review and quantitative application of ROA to a case study involving fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology, utilizing various option valuation techniques.
